The Interstate Extradition Conference
which met in New York city some weeks
ago appointed committee to draw up
bill embodying the conclusions of the
conference. The committee has now
| completed q draft of the bill which is
to be submitted to the governors of the
| different states and territories. After
being examined by them it will be re-
turned to the committee who will consid-
or the changes ana suggestions made and
finally prepare the bill for Congress.
The provisions of the bill are mainly
concerned with the regulation of pro-
ceedure. One of the provisions i'm
poses all costs of extradition on the
state desiring the return of the criminal.
Tt is intended to have the bill passed if
possible so as to take effsct November l.,
1883. If the several state governors can
be made to agree to the provisions of
the bill the way to its passage should be
easy.

made from straight bur iron, the heating
to be done by attendants, so as to keep
the men supplied. Martin j. Dunn, the

A Team Goes Twenty Miles With Dead
Driver.

ATHENS, GA, February 10.-Mr. Will
liam Roberts, highly respected old man,
started for Athens in his wagon, driving
two horses. He was in apparent good
health when he left home. When his
wagon passed Clarksboro he was seen to
be hanging over the dashboard of the
vehicle with his face cast down and one
hand and one arm swinging loosely.
Those who saw him thought he was only
in deep meditation or probably watch
ing some part of the RAINING gear of his
vehicle, and did not speak to him. He
passed others in this position, and at
last reached Harrison's, about eight miles
from Athens. Here the attention of
several persons was directed to the pecul-
iarly uncomfortable position ofMr. Rob.
erts, and also to the fact that he was
black in the face. The team was stop
ped, and on touching the driver his head
and face were found to be cold and his
heart stilled in death. he had driven
twenty miles. He was taken out and his
family notified.

Suicide, Of q Young Man.

s GlaEENyILLE, g February 10.-About
10 o'clock last night Samuel Gilreath, a
yourg Tennesseean, visiting in the city,
shot and killed himself in room over
Holcombe & Simmons's saloon, on Main
street. The tragedy was first discovered
by State Constable George Tinsley, an
uncle of young Gilreath, when he retired
to the room at midnight. Entering the
room he found, stretched at full length
in the middle of the bed, the body ofhis
nephew, with bullet hole in his head,
and the right hand clutcbiDg 6ve-
shooter revolver of the "British bull
dog" type. One chamber had been fred,
and on examination showed that the bali
had entered above the right ear, passed
diagonally through the brain and spent
itself in crushing the bone over the left
eyebrow. Death resulted instantaneous
ly and the body had fallen in natural
position with the arms at the side.
Samuel Gilreath was from Sewer
County, Tenn. He was astout, healthy
young man, of good character and tenn
perate habits. Three weeks ago he came
to this county to visit relatives, and since
Monday has been in the city. When
last seen alive, at half-past 9 last night,
he was in bis usual good spirits. He
went to his room and in half an hour
was dead by his own hands. His friends
believe that love troubles led to the act.
He left home, it is said, because of the
opposition of his parents to his marriage
to a young lady of the neighborhood, and
on Monday he is known to have received
8 letter from the young lady in question,
the contents of which are not knowDs In
the room with the body was found an
almost illegible note, asking that his
corpse be sent to his mother and his
horse, "Mike," be given to his father

Rounds has been having a high time with
his young lady pupils. BE prescribed a
new punishment in his school, and in
ficted it on the girls for the slightest in.
fraction of the rules. It consisted in
kissing them. Some of the fair pupils
objected more than others. and these
Rounds encircled with his arms, by way
of extra punishment, and gave them a
harder kissing. Mr.. Rounds's fun has
now been stopped. The trustees of the
school tout of envy, Rounds says) have
preferred seven different charges against
the osculatory teacher, who will be re-.
moved. He admits the kissing and says
it was all done for fun.

Stricken With Blindness

WILKEsBARRE, PA, February H.
Harry Edwards, a well known young
man of this city, has met With great
misfortune. He decided last Christmas
that he would neither smoke nor chew
tobacco, and would abstain from all in
toxicants and reform generally. He
put his good resolutions into effect by
joining the Salvation Army. There was
great rejoicing over bis conversion, and
the young CONVERT was held up as an OK.
ample for others to follow.
Up to the lst of February Edwards was
an earnest worker in the ranks of the
army, but on that date he fell from grace,
and returned 10 his old way of living.
ALI efforts on the part of the captain
and lieutenants of the army to reclaim
the sinner were unavailing. On Sunday
evening last Harry visited the Salvation
Army barracks and took front seat.
The army prayed for him, and the prodi-
gal son reciprocated by soothing and
laughing. One of the captains said it
was the laugh of the unbeliever.
Suddenly Edwards was seen to put his
hands up to his eyes. His friends who
occupied seats near him asked what was
the matter. Edwards replied, "Oh, am
blind I can't see, Take me home" /"
Sure enough the man was sightless, and
picture of terror. BE was taken to his
home and physician summoned, but the
latter was powerless to render any aid
He said it was mysterious case. Miss
Burton, commander of the army, believes
that the man has been visited with
Divine wrath. A delegation from the
army visited Edwards house to-day and
prayed for him.

by the author 10 provide penalty for

TO punish interfering with contracts, or

agricultural contract, but passed the sec.

COURT COSTS.

Several Of our readers have enquired
as 10 what charges were made in the Law
relating TO taxed .osts in suits in this
State. No Bin was passed BY the late
.Legillature. The House passed a Bill
sabolishing all costs Of reference for
Plaintiff Attorneys, and limiting the
costs for Defendants Attosneys, but the
issnaGe defeated the Bill because it did
not appear 10 be equitable, or 70 save the
amount Of costs in small cases which
should be saved to lIigants. Instead Of
this the Senate passed a Bill, which was
introduced by Murray, to regulate Taxed
Costs in Civil suits, which was not
reached by the House, and will probably
be passed atIthe next session. The Bill
reduces all costs to one. half in cases
named, and allows costs Of reference only
to- the winning side, and only for the
necessary number Of days. The Bill is
as follows:
SECTION /. That from aud after the
passage of this Act, taxed costs allowed
plaintiffs aud Defendants Attorneys,
Masters, Referees, Clerks Of Court and
SheriAs, in all actions for partition or
marshaling assets, where the estate does
not exceed one thousand dollars, and in
all action. for foreclosure where the sum
claimed does not exceed three hundred
dollars, shall only be one.half Of the
costs allowed in like cases where the sum
exceeds one thousand dollars. ~
& SIC. 2. That in all equity causes, fees
for attending references shall be allowed
only to the attorney who succeeds in the
issue tried in such reference, and only
the number Of days reference sshall be
taxed for any attorney which the Master
or Referee shall certify to have been
necessary and unavoidable in the cause.
No preference shall be allowed for estab.
fishing an uncontested claim.

for the following hog story: A hog on
the premises of Mr.. D. E. Hodge has
exhibited the strangest ofpassions toward
number of young pups that have been
deserted by their mother. Attracted by
the distressed cries of pups, mother hog
went among them with consolatory grunts
and soothing nose caresses. She kept
this up till the pups became accustomed
TO her presence, then gently laying down,
with her feet she dragged the pups to the
nursing bottle. The pups at first were
inclined to make off but at last the little
fellows took on to mother hog, and now
they nurse at her bottle, follow her all
the time, and are protected by her moth
